number of those present had been mar

them had known him for twenty years
or more, and very pleasant hour was
spent reviving old memories.

A little over year ago natural gas
was discovered at Finlay, Ohio. The
place was then but an obscure village.
1t is now a city. Three large glass
factories are already located there and
ten more are expected within few
months. Other factories have also
been located there and thousands of
dollars are now paid out every week
for wages. That is an instance of what
natural gas has done for one town.
Why can't it do it for another?
Mr.. Means hands us late copy of
the Marietta (OhiO) Register, conta in
ing a valuable article on the sill yer

Mr.. Smeltzer informs us that large
number of the Odd-section Leaguers are
buying their lands having at last con-
cluded that the decision of the Supreme
Court is likely to stand. AS they can
buy the land at $40 an acre and borrow
the entire amount necessary with only
the land as security, they are certainly |
not making very risky speculation.
Now if the men on the even sections |
would only 60 and do likewise it would |
be a blessing to themselves and to the |
county. We wish the wOrds"L League
and "I,eaguer" might be blotted from
our vocabulary.
| Richards & Henderson have sold |
their grocery business to Ira Patterson
and w. n. West who will take posses |
sion next week and conduct the busi- |
ness under the firm name of Patterson
& West. Neither Mr.. Richards nor
Mr.. Henderson have any idea of leav-
ing town. The former is largely inter.
ested in the new Carriage Company,
which will doubtless require consider
able of his attention, and the latter
will probably so into business here
again at no distant day. Messrs. Pat.
terson & West acquire a fine business
and as they are young men of charac-
ter and push it will doubtless continue
to flourish under their care. We wish
them success.
In the last issue Of the Humboldt
Union is report from the Board of
Trustees of the NJ. f. church lately
built and dedicated i'm Cottage Grove
township, giving Il statement of the
money they had received and expend-
ed from which We clip the following
paragraph. 1t speaks for itself and we
will not comment on it farther than to
commend it to the particular attention
of certain persons who have been try
ing to convince the people that lola
was niggardly and selfish. This is the |
paragraph:
We also called on some of the liberal citizens
of lola, which town being twelve miles from
our church we could neither claim nor expect |
much help from them, but we were both sur |
prised and gratfed in receiving from that town |
$3.50.
1t was with the utmost regret that
we learned last Monday of the death of
Jere Baker, of Elm township, which |
occurred Sunday afternoon about five
o'clock, resulting from pneumonia.
For the past ten years Mr.: Bakers life
has been embittered by his struggle
with the Leaguers. his attempt to get
and hold what was his own having
cost him a great deal of money and
endless worry and anxiety, and 1t
seems particularly hard that he must
be called away just when the end of
| the struggle is ut hand. He was
stern, just man, without fear and with
out reproach, and one of the staunchest
personal friends we ever had. May he
rest in peace.
One morning some two or three
weeks ago, as our friend Keplinger, of
WyandOtte, stepped out of his house
to get a bucket of coal, cOlOred
woman who was passing along the
sidewalk gave an exclamation of hOr-
ror and called to him to come where
she was. He went and discovered the
dead body of newly born babe lying
on the side of the gutter. He told the
woman to leave it where it was and he
would go and get the coroner. He re-
turned to the house and while putting
on his overcOat it occurred to him that
as crowd was gathering, the corpse,
| which was nude, should be covered.
